Random question,

Of the transmigrators, who would be the most insane about holidays? And how would the disciples react to seeing their shizun going insane on an ostensibly random day?

Qi Qingqi, she used to be an influencer and she loved loved loved the holidays and loves decorating, giving and receiving gifts, she would decorate the entire mountain if let loose and allowed to run wild. During the month of December, she would turn the peak into a winter wonderland then throw a feast and gift giving session on new years eve (because she loves seeing ppls reactions)

(she's not celebrating Christmas but she just loves the vibes and looks of Christmas)

people usually held smaller celebrations for the new years so this wasn't really that jarring for the disciples, it was only when she brought out these strangely themed decorations that they started raising eyebrows

(sqh coughed blood when he saw the budget reports for that month)

Upgrading the 'polaroid magnet' idea of 2019 for 2023's Xmas card trades, these ones are made from wood and use actual magnets! Luxurious! |D All the poses are also referenced from actual party photos i've taken of other people, to add to the candid vibe lol.

The dreamcatcher is kind of a gag gift (yes the craft project i reffed here) for some friends. Since they don't have the ability to fight their nightmares i have offered to [try and] do it for them XD

Made from: Wooden craft polaroid (plus some backing MDF pieces), magnet, misc decorating items (glitter, wooden shapes, gel pens, paint etc). The dreamcatcher is just a storebought one with laminated paper mes wired to it

Reminder that around this time is when people start early-shopping for holiday gift-giving (for those who celebrate or their family celebrates) so if you're someone who's family/friends refuses to take 'no, dont get me a gift' as an answer then you need to start making a wishlist of things you actually want and can use.

Having an actaul list to whip out when someone asks is a perfectly acceptable response and preferred. Especially when Aunty Tiffany is gifting you feminine church clothes when you're t-masc and it's just going to sit there for months unused, or Grandpa gets you another one of those walmart spa kits when $10 of gas money would have been much more helpful.

A lot of gifts are often unwanted, sit there unused out of guilt or are thrown away. This will help YOU as much as it helps to cut back on waste. Most stores cannot put a lot of returned gifts back out on shelves, especially holiday-themed ones. Holidays are one of the most wasteful times of the year.

I have some posts about dumpster diving and waste and talking about how you should donate unwanted gifts but seriously pls pls pls make a list. It does not have to be expensive or extravagant, it just needs to be something you know you will use. Put some $5 cute pens on there with the bunnies at the end or something.

(Not) Lonely SANTA's Mission - Track EP

Seasonal Event: Christmas 2024

Finally, the nagishuu chapter... If possible, do try to read the translation alongside the in-game chapter so see Nagi's expressions change in real time.

Location: HAMA House - Living Room

Tao: *sigh* I’m back… 

Nagi: Welcome back, Tao. Thank you for taking the time to help despite the cold outside.

Raito: Oh? Where’s Kuguri?

Tao: Don’t ask me. I left him behind.

Tao: I tried contacting him through the headset but got no response. We handed the present over to Murakumo-san with no problems, though, so rest assured.

Liguang: You must have been troubled, Kinouchi. But I appreciate it all the same.

Tao: I mean, he’s always like that.

Nagi: With this, we can finally say Mission Santa: Complete.

Nagi: I wouldn’t have been able to pull this off by myself. Please accept these bath bombs as a present from me.

Nagi: Tao, thank you for lending me your strength as part of Team Noel.

Tao: Ahaha, you’re welcome.

Nagi: Kuguri-san might not be here but… I’m happy he helped out too. I’ll make sure to give him his present later.

Nagi: Raito-san, you had to run around HAMA for my sake as part of Team Ginger, thank you for your help. HAMA Nice Ramen.

Raito: HAMA Nice Ramen, too! Feel free to call me anytime you need my help, or my cooking.

Liguang and Nagi: …… 

Liguang: (The night felt long, and yet it passed in the blink of an eye…)

Nagi: Liguang-san, about what you wrote on this card… 

Liguang: Hm?

Nagi: “No man is a failure who has friends.” I think I would’ve given up again if it weren’t for this.

Liguang: “Again?”

Nagi: I’m used to not having my wishes granted. That I’d dare wish for something beyond my reach… It’d only be natural that it would slip through my fingers. 

Liguang: Beyond your reach, huh… 

Nagi: I was lucky to have you advise me. Having such admirable people who’d lend me a hand is the best gift of all.

Nagi: Since you helped me out yet again, I’ll redouble my efforts to repay you starting from tomorrow. I’m willing to do anything from wake-up calls to shoulder massages—

Liguang: That won’t be necessary… I’ll admit, I enjoyed myself as well.

Liguang: Hachinoya. It’s not so bad to have more people to treasure.

*Liguang leaves*

Nagi: Ah… I can feel it.

Nagi: (The arrival of happiness.)

Location: HAMA House - Terrace

*winds blowing*

Nagi: Brr…Cold… Good, this is exactly what I need. 

Nagi: (First, I’ll sit down on a chair covered in snow.)

Nagi: (And now… to dump some of this snow down my shirt…)

*Nagi shivers*

Nagi: …! …!!

Nagi: O-O-Okay— 

Nagi: (That should keep the Yajirobe in balance for the time being.)

Nagi: *sigh* …My sinuses hurt… 

Nagi: (Oh… There are lights on in the mansion across from here…)

Nagi: A Frame of Happiness: “Houses Lit Up at the Dawn of Christmas”... Card captured.

Nagi: …… 

Nagi: “The Department Store on Christmas Day.”

Nagi: “Family Car Packed Tight on Christmas Day.” “Christmas Trees and Ornaments that Reappear Annually.”

Nagi: (I love this season. Everyone gets to experience a Christmas miracle, just like in the movies. I can’t help but share in the happiness, even if it’s just leftovers from other people.)

Nagi: “A Family Crossing the Road, Huddled Together Like Penguins.” “A Baby Swaddled in the Backseat of a Car.”

Nagi: “Breaths that Mist Together.”

Nagi: (In the space between myself and the scenery in front of me, I can see an outline of what could have been, if I had a family of my own…)

Nagi: Yep. As I thought, I can’t help but feel uneasy when I don’t have someone I can impose my excess happiness onto.

Nagi: (I should try and remember how I got by before I met the Chief, instead of just sitting around and tracing the patterns formed by other people’s families.)

Nagi: Phew… 

~~~

???: Nagi-kun?

Nagi: …Chief?

Chief: What are you doing out here, so early in the morning?

Nagi: I could ask you the same thing. I thought you’d be arriving later since you were with your family.

Chief: Erm… 

Chief: (I can’t very well tell him that I regretted not making sure of what his plans were for Christmas Eve… And that I cut my plans short to come back early—) 

Chief: My brother had something come up, so we decided to part ways sooner than expected.

Nagi: I see. I guess that can happen some years, since you know you have the next year, and the year after that to— 

Chief: —So, what brought you out here now?

Chief: (I was worried whether Nagi-kun’s past might cause him to have mixed feelings about this season… Is that why he’s awake so early in the day?)

Nagi: I couldn’t keep up with my debt of happiness, so I’ve been using the cold and the snow to keep my Yajirobe in check.

Chief: …So that means you’re not out here because you’re sad, or lonely, right?

Nagi: Huh? Yeah.

Chief: Thank goodness…! That means you’re happy enough that it’s actually turned into a debt, huh!

Nagi: …Yeah.

Nagi: Oh, right. Welcome home, Chief.

Chief: Yeah! I’m glad to be back!

Nagi: …… 

Chief: (I’m relieved. He looks like he’s in a good mood.)

Chief: Right! I’ve brought you back a souvenir as a Christmas present!

Nagi: This is… A huggable koala doll?

Chief: Yeah! These were handcrafted by an artisan, each and every one having a unique face!

Chief: So I splurged and got one for everyone at HAMA Tours… I couldn’t help but think this little one here has a face that kinda looks like yours.

Nagi: There’s no way I look this pretty… 

Chief: Here, I’ll put it on your finger.

Chief: Merry Christmas, Nagi-kun!

Nagi: —....

Nagi: (“The Reassuring Feeling of a Koala’s Hug.” …This is the strongest card.)

Nagi: …This is dangerous.

Chief: Huh?

Nagi: If I didn’t already have a gift on hand, I’d be worried that HAMA House would explode on the spot. Bombed, even.

Chief: A bomb?

Nagi: Merry Christmas, Chief. This is my present for you.

Nagi: It’s a bath bomb. You can use it next time you take a long soak in the bath.

Chief: Oh wow, thank you…! 

Nagi: …… 

Nagi: (Wait. What if my shoddy handicraft is making her cringe on the inside… I mean, that’d go for everyone else too.)

Nagi: (Maybe I should just take them all back before everyone wakes up—)

Chief: The smell of flowers and soap is really comforting, just like you, Nagi-kun!

Nagi: …!

Nagi: Oh, um, I tried choosing flowers that’d suit everyone individually…. 

Chief: What! That’s really impressive!! 

Akuta: WOOOOAHHHH, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS—!! SANTA!? IS SANTA ACTUALLY FOR REAL!?

Ushio: SO FUCKING LOUD!! Can you NOT shout right in my ear first thing in the morning!? How has your throat not gone to hell by now!?

Chief: …Huh? Why’s it so noisy inside?

Chief: Let’s go back in for now. We should ask them what happened!

Chief: C’mon Nagi-kun! Christmas is about to start!

Nagi: …Ah, yeah.

Nagi: (Does this mean… I finally get to peek into the other side of “Houses Lit up at the Dawn of Christmas?”)

Nagi: (What a wonderful Christmas this turned out to be…)

Note:

The flower used in the bath bomb Nagi made for the Chief are red tulips, which in flower language can have the meanings "love's confession" and "gratitude for family."
